Abstract

This study, which is titled “Generality Forms and their Connotations”, - a fundamental applied study on Ayat Al-Kursi”- aims to highlight the relationship of the Science of Jurisprudence Principles with the texts of the Holy Qur’an, and to indicate the types of general forms in Ayat Al-Kursi, and their meanings; because of their great impact on understanding the book of God Almighty, and enriching the fundamentalist library with applications inspired by the texts of the Holy Qur’an. Herein, I followed the inductive and analytical approach: by tracing the forms of generality in Ayat Al-Kursi, collecting them, highlighting them, mentioning the opinions of scholars thereof, clarifying the most correct of them, and clarifying the meaning of those forms and their connotations in Ayat Al-Kursi. The most prominent results were that the verse included some indefinite words in the context of negation, namely: "God", "slumber", "sleep", and "something", and "whatever". The verse also included the plural form defined by the definite article "the" and its words namely: "The heavens", and included the plural form defined by (aledhafah) - the addition-, and its words, are: "their hands", as well as the singular form defined by the definite article "the", and its words, namely: "the earth", and "the Most Great". And it included the singular form defined by (aledhafah) - the addition-, and its words, namely: "his knowledge", and it included the interrogative form of "who", which connotes generality as in the Almighty's saying: (Who is it that can intercede with him except by His permission). I concluded with an indication of the forms of the relative pronouns, and their words in the said verse, such as: "who", and "whatever" in the Almighty's saying: (to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth), and "what" in the Almighty's saying: (He knows what is (presently) before them and what will be after them), and "what" in the words of the Almighty: (and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills).
